Question

What do I do.?!

Share

I'm just over 6 months pregnant, It took a LONG time for me and my boyfriend to agree on a name for our son. We decided to name him Eden, because the name means "Perfect." I've been getting a lot of complaints that it's a girls name. I personally don't care what people think, but I don't want my son to grow &&get made fun of because of the ONE thing I had a choice in, what do I do.? /:

I don't know that I have ever heard the name Eden for a boy. I also know that boys tend to catch more grief than girls with names that cross the gender barrier. Would you consider using Eden as a middle name so that you still get the name's meaning but choose a name that will grow a little bit better into a young man's name?
